Saint John Of The Cross - 1,967 words
Saint John Of The Cross Saint John of the Cross -
I abandoned and forgot myself, laying my face on
my Beloved; all things ceased; I went out from
myself, leaving my cares forgotten among the
lilies. John of the Cross is one of the
acknowledged masters of mystical theology. It is
thought among present day theologians that there
is no other writer who has had a greater influence
on Catholic spirituality than John of the Cross.
He is a canonized saint of the Catholic Church and
was made a Doctor of the Church because of his
extreme influence on present day doctrine. His
dedication as a leader in service is surpassed
only by his deep faith in the workings of the
Trinity through Jesus on earth as ...

Saint Report: - 1,001 words
Saint Report: St. Nicholas St. Nicholas, called
"of Bari", Bishop of Myra (Fourth Century) 6 Dec.
Feast day. The great veneration with which this
saint has been honored for many ages and the
number of altars and churches which have been
everywhere dedicated in his memory are
testimonials to his holiness and of the glory
which he enjoys with God. He is said to have been
born at Patara in Lycia, a province of Asia Minor.
Myra, the capital, not far from the sea, was an
episcopal see, and this church falling vacant, the
holy Nicholas was chosen bishop, and in that
station became famous by his extraordinary piety
and zeal and many astonishing miracles. The Greek
histories of his life agree that h ...

Nicholas appeared in a dream to Constatine, and
told him with threats to release the three
innocent men, and Ablavius experienced the same
thing. In the morning the Emporor and the prefect
compared notes, and the condemned men were sent
for and questioned. When he heard that they had
called on the name of the Nicholas of Myra who had
appeared to him, Constatine set them free and sent
them to the bishop with a letter asking him not to
threaten him any more but to pray for the peace of
the world. For long this was the most famous
miracle of St. Nicholas, and at the time of St.
Methodius was the only thing generally known about
him. The accounts are un ...

Sake Of Belonging - 631 words
Sake Of Belonging annon Just for the Sake of
Belonging Two common ways of handling a situation
are either to do so according to ones own personal
needs and desires with no specific regard to other
people, or one can base a decision on how it will
be viewed by others. The vast majority of people
fall on the side of being worried about what
others are saying and thinking. Both good and bad
can come from living this way, but it has seemed
to remain constant throughout history. People have
a natural desire to belong, and to fit in with a
certain group. No matter what group an individual
chooses, that individual almost always is forced
sacrifice a part of them self in order to seem

Salem Witch Trial - 1,183 words
Salem Witch Trial This is about witchcraft and is
started like this: In the winter of 1691-92,
several people in Salem Village, most of them
young women, but eventually including a few men
and boys, began behaving in a strange & unusual
manner", with an affect which was interpreted as
illness. The town's minister, Samuel Parris, whose
daughter and niece were among those with this odd
affect, sought to cure the perceived problem with
prayer; others, including a doctor of physic who
was called in, felt that the people in question
were afflicted with a witch's supernatural curse,
and this diagnosis came to be accepted as true.
Friends and relatives prompted the afflicted
people to name their su ...

Salem Witch Trials In Relation to America History
shows that the story which an author writes must
often pertain to actual events in some way or
another. Everything from historical books, to the
most seemingly far-fetched science fiction have
their roots in some form of reality. Arthur
Miller, one of the greatest and most well known
playwrights of the twentieth century bases many of
his characters off of real, living people. This
can easily be seen in his world renowned play, The
Crucible, which tells the story of the colonial
Salem witch trials. The story has many characters,
all of whom vary from one another in one way or
another. These variances are very much like those
of real colonial p ...

Salem Witch Trials - 1,164 words
Salem Witch Trials The Salem Witch trials started
in 1692 resulted in 19 executions and 150
accusations of witchcraft. This is one of the
historical events almost everyone has heard of. It
is a topic that is talked about, and can be seen
as controversial. A quote by Laurie Carlson shows
just how controversial the topic can be. (A)
character myth is certainly what the witch hunts
in Europe and Salem have become, though they have
more basis in fact than most myths. The stories of
the witch hunts are character myths for our time,
to be told by feminists, left-wing intellectuals,
and lawyers for President Clinton, each taking
what he or she needs from the story, adding or
subtracting as it seems ...

search might be seen as a negative mirror of the
search for clues that one was saved. In the film
The Burning Times, some of the clues that were
seen included strange marks on the body (e.g.
birthmarks and extra nipples - which were
considered witches teats used to suckle demons).
More controversial was spectral evidence. The
afflicted girls and some male witnesses said that
they had seen spectres (normally invisible
spirits) of the accused either in the courtroom or
at other times, and that these spectras tried to
cause harm to them. These actions included
choking, frightening or tormenting them. No doubt,

Salem Witch Trials Chadwick Hansen. Witchcraft at
Salem. New York: George Braziller, INC., 1969.
252pp. Many people believe that the witch-hunt of
Salem, Massachusetts in 1692, was based upon mere
delusions of a few frightened teenage girls.
Despite the popular viewpoint of many other
historians, Chadwick Hansen's book, Witchcraft at
Salem, offers a generally discarded point of view.
He uses exhausted research and well-written
material to argue that the events of 1692 were
true signs of witchcraft. Hansen proves this
thesis by elaborate descriptions of the girls who
were afflicted and by extensive trial evidence. In
many historical writings the girls that were
afflicted by the witches were u ...

Salinger, Jd The Catcher In The Rye - 619 words
Salinger, J.D. The Catcher in the Rye Holden
Caulfield, the main character in J.D. Salinger's
The Catcher in the Rye, is what I believe to be
one of the most well-developed characters which I
have read about. He has many characteristics that
are all his own, such as the way he views the
world, his friends and his family. One of the main
things that characterizes Holden, is that way that
he thinks the entire world is "phony." Holden's
view of the world as "phony" is a very strong one,
and in most cases, is correct. Holden thinks that
the majority of the people in the world are
putting on some sort of an act to impress or
befriend people. In a way, Holden is probably
correct in thinking that m ...

Salivary - 979 words
Salivary Amylase Lab In this laboratory, I
observed the process by which salivary amylase, an
enzyme secreted by the salivary glands in the
mouth, breaks starch down into maltose. This
requires a relatively straightforward experiment
with only a couple of indicators, some test tubes,
and a starch source. To understand the process,
one has to understand chemical reactions with
enzymes and the its major role in the digestive
system of the human (Chapter 37). Just to refresh
the reader, I will define a few words that will
appear later on in the lab. Starch is complex
compilation of simple sugars (or a polysaccharide)
that when broken down into simpler substance,
forms two-sugar maltose (a disac ...

music influences and all the incoming African
